Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution poses a significant threat to global health and ecosystems. The quest for innovative and effective solutions has led to the exploration of functional nanomaterials as a promising avenue for environmental remediation. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and developments in the field of nanotechnology that address the challenges of decontaminating air, water, and soil. Functional nanomaterials, due to their unique properties such as high surface area, reactivity, and modifiable surface chemistry, offer unparalleled opportunities for the detection, adsorption, and degradation of various pollutants. This issue will cover a range of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Synthesis and functionalization of nanomaterials for enhanced remediation capabilities;
- Mechanisms of pollutant interaction and removal by nanomaterials;
- Advances in nanomaterials for the remediation of heavy metals, organic pollutants, and biological contaminants;
- The role of nanomaterials in monitoring environmental pollution.
Through original research articles, reviews, and case studies, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and prospects of nanomaterials in environmental remediation. We invite contributions that discuss the synthesis, characterization, and application of various nanomaterials, including carbon-based, metallic, metal-oxide, and polymeric nanocomposites. Submissions that address the sustainability and potential ecological impacts of nanomaterials are also encouraged

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
